The Role:

The Portfolio Support Specialist supports Brennan's Digital Group professional services business across the Cloud, Data & AI and Business Applications practices. Reporting to the Digital Group Portfolio Manager, the role improves portfolio visibility, PPM adoption, data quality and operational discipline across Brennan's project and portfolio management processes.

The role is expected to consistently use available AI tools to improve speed, accuracy and efficiency across PPM support, reporting, analysis, training material maintenance and continual improvement activities. This is not a traditional manual administration role; the successful candidate will proactively reduce repetitive effort, identify patterns, streamline tasks and use AI to deliver faster, more reliable portfolio support outcomes.

Role Responsibilities

Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) Tool End-user Support

• Provide first level support to end users of Brennan's Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) tool, including how-to guidance, navigation support and assistance with day-to-day usage queries.
• Support onboarding of new starters by delivering basic PPM tool training and helping users understand required processes, data entry standards and project information hygiene expectations.
• Own, maintain and continually improve PPM training materials, including user guides, FAQs, work instructions and training handbooks.
• Troubleshoot level 1 PPM tool issues, triage user queries, capture recurring problems and elevate system or process issues where additional support is required.
• Use available AI tools to identify recurring PPM support issues, improve guidance materials and reduce repetitive user support effort.

Service Pack Coordination

• Coordinate a portfolio of small, simple service packs that do not require client-facing project management, ensuring delivery information remains accurate and current.
• Maintain service pack updates in Brennan's PPM tool, including status, key dates, assigned resources, progress notes and closure information.
• Ensure resource planning tools are updated to reflect resource allocation, planned effort and delivery timing against each service pack.
• Monitor service pack progress and follow up with delivery resources or internal stakeholders to confirm updates, identify blockers and support timely completion.
• Maintain consistent information hygiene across service pack records so portfolio reporting, resource planning and operational visibility remain reliable.

Digital Group Portfolio Manager Support

• Provide ad-hoc support to the Digital Group Portfolio Manager across portfolio reporting, data analysis, administration and operational follow-up activities.
• Assist with preparing portfolio reports, dashboards, summaries and analysis using information from PPM, resource planning and other delivery management tools.
• Use available AI tools to identify recurring support themes, data quality gaps, reporting inconsistencies and process inefficiencies, then translate insights into practical improvement actions.
• Proactively identify continual improvement opportunities and maintain a backlog of initiatives to improve ways of working, system usage, data quality and portfolio support processes.
• Maintain all project management guidelines, playbooks and templates, ensuring the latest versions are available and accessible to all PMs.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Communicate clearly with PPM users, delivery teams, project managers and practice stakeholders to support accurate tool usage and timely updates.
• Respond to PPM user queries, provide simple guidance and elevate issues where further support is required.
• Follow up with internal stakeholders to keep service pack status, resource allocation and delivery information current.
• Use available AI tools to summarise support activity, service pack progress, blockers, data quality issues and recurring stakeholder themes into clear updates for the Digital Group Portfolio Manager.
• Maintain clear records of requests, actions, decisions and outcomes to support reporting and follow-up.

Key Competencies And Qualifications Required

• 5+ years' experience working in portfolio, PMO, project coordination, project administration or professional services support environments, preferably within a technology services business.
• Demonstrated exposure to portfolio-level ways of working, including project governance, status reporting, data quality, resource planning, templates, playbooks and operational follow-up.
• Experience supporting users of project, portfolio or resource planning tools, including responding to how-to queries, assisting new users, maintaining training materials and troubleshooting basic issues.
• Experience maintaining accurate project, portfolio or operational data in tools and trackers, with strong attention to data quality, status updates, information hygiene and reporting accuracy.
• Exposure to resource planning, scheduling, capacity tracking or allocation management across multiple small work packages, projects or service activities.
• Experience working with geographically distributed stakeholders, with the ability to follow up actions, communicate clearly, manage competing priorities and elevate issues when required.
• Mandatory Skills and Technology
• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Project Operations is mandatory, including project setup, project records, tasks, resource assignments, time or effort visibility, status information, reporting inputs and data quality management.
• Strong administration, coordination and follow-up skills, with the ability to maintain accurate records, track actions and keep portfolio information current.
• Confident supporting business users with project, portfolio and resource planning tools, including providing simple guidance, basic training and level 1 troubleshooting.
